On the morning of Saturday, February 8th, the DTRF convened patients, caregivers, and clinicians for a special educational event in downtown Philadelphia. For the first time, DTRF partnered with the leading sarcoma center, Penn Medicine.
Roughly 35 attendees joined us for talks given by Penn Medicine sarcoma specialists on topics like medical therapies, fertility, interventional radiology, genetics, and surgery. Included also was a focus on our experts: those living with desmoid tumors (in a patient panel) and clinicians treating patients (in a mock tumor board).
After the talks, everyone convened for lunch, where clinicians connected one on one with patients.
One attendee stated, “Saturday was incredibly enlightening, and I now have several questions for my team at my upcoming appointment.”
We are so grateful to everyone who joined us for this special event, including our partners at Penn Medicine, and event sponsor, the Green Family Foundation.
